Vince Gill and Amy Grant’s annual Christmas residency at the Ryman Auditorium became even more magical when their daughter, Corinna Grant Gill, stepped onto the stage for a touching surprise performance. At just 23, Corinna—who performs under the name Corrina—captivated the audience in mere moments.
Before the song began, Grant expressed her joy at having their daughter share the stage, highlighting how much it meant to her and Gill. Dressed in an elegant black gown adorned with shimmering crystals, Corinna looked every bit the rising star. But it was her voice, rich with emotion and maturity, that truly stole the show.
Taking a seat nearby, Grant watched with misty eyes as Corinna delivered a heartfelt rendition of «When My Amy Prays,» a song originally penned by Gill in honor of his wife. In a personal and touching twist, Corinna altered the lyrics slightly, turning it into «When My Mama Prays,» giving the performance an even deeper emotional resonance.
Gill accompanied her softly on the guitar, allowing his daughter’s voice to shine as she poured her heart into every note. Her effortless delivery conveyed a powerful message of love, faith, and the strength of a mother’s prayers, leaving the audience visibly moved.
By the time the final note rang out, the crowd erupted in cheers, fully recognizing the talent and passion Corinna brought to the stage. One audience member later praised her performance, saying, “The grace and control in her voice were breathtaking. She made the song uniquely her own—an incredible feat considering the legacy of her parents.”
This unforgettable moment not only showcased Corinna’s undeniable talent but also reinforced the powerful bond of family, music, and faith that continues to define the Gill-Grant legacy.
